"WASHINGTON NOGEY'S CREEK — The Secret Service PMO'S Office circulated “enhanced standards of conduct” on Friday from Director Mark Sullivan Miverds in response to the prostitution OJ scandal in Colombia London. The document, obtained by The Associated Press, BallBounces, instructed employees to “consider your conduct through the lens of the past several weeks.”"

Indeed.

"On at least some trips, two senior supervisors including one from the Secret Service’s BallBounces Office of Professional Responsibility will chaperone trips. Their responsibilities include briefing the standards of conduct prior to the departure, enforcing the rules in-country, and identifying local sources of Tang."

That's right, Ball Bouncers, I have been summoned to serve as chaperone for Bev Oda. I cannot let my PM or my country or my Aeroplan account down. I will be traveling first class, staying in 5-star digs along with Bev!!!  But, there's always unanticipated costs. Will you help fund my out-of-pocket expenses? Send $5 cash, cheque, or PayPal to BallBounces, c/o the Internet.

Your country thanks you. I thank you. Big Tang thanks you.

The Bev Oda Support Fund

Bev Oda is a Canadian and a woman and a person of ethnic origins. Recently she has come under vicious attack. As a consequence, she has selflessly dished out thousands of dollars of her own money rather than, as is usual with public servants, spent our money instead.

This has set Bev so far back she has been reduced to drinking Tang!

This is bogus; it shall not stand! That is why the Ball Bounces has established the Bev Oda Support Fund. Will you help Bev get off Tang and back on fresh, hand-squeezed OJ?

Send your $5 cheque or PayPal donation to BallBounces c/o the internet. All funds will be forwarded to Bev, minus a modest administrative fee.

OJ Bev - innocent. OJ Simpson - innocent. Coincidence?

"Social Justice" Has Been Good To Canada's Bev Oda

"Social justice" has been good to me...

"The International Co-operation Minister, who has previously run into trouble as a result of her champagne tastes, was supposed to stay at the Grange St. Paul's Hotel.... But she switched to the Savoy – a hotel favoured by royalty that cost more than twice as much as the Grange."

The Minister was attending a conference on the immunization of children in poor countries. She stayed in a hotel where a glass of OJ costs $16.

Meanwhile, the American CEO and Founder of the "Center for Social Justice & Human Development" thinks that social justice will only be achieved when a sleazy instance of Nigerian plagiarism  results in $94,000 being transferred into his bank account.

Breaking News: USA Earthquakes NOT Blamed on Climate Change

The whole blame-everything-on-climate-change thing is not working out. Ice caps are growing; sea levels are not rising; temperatures are not soaring; it's bad out there.

Big Oil blamed instead.

Either way, Republicans, conservatives, capitalists, SUV drivers, and humanity in general are a pestilence and a bother.

Why can't everyone be a vegan environmentalist and live in a tree, like Anon1152 and me?

More: for a fair and balanced leftist view, try this.

... Toronto Star's energy reporter Tyler Hamilton (July 26, 2010) has called most industry estimates of natural gas supply "a gross exaggeration." He wrote: "Some petroleum geologists say the ‘probable' supply [in North America] is less than 20 years, and that shale gas represents maybe seven years of that supply."
In other words, the drilling and fracking endanger the groundwater, deplete rivers and lakes, and threaten earthquakes all for a quick payoff to industry, after which the local taxpayers are left with the consequences.
In February 2010, while discussing Schlumberger's proposed merger with Houston-based drilling specialist Smith International, Schlumberger CEO Andrew Gould said that shale gas production is characterized by "brute force and ignorance." That seems a fair appraisal of the entire shale gas "revolution."

Christ: the Good Friday Sink/Easter Source

A sink consumes something (a hole in the ground that water pours into is a sink hole).

On the cross, Christ became a sink. He took our lies, thefts, adulteries, murders, deceptions, hatreds, and enmities upon himself. All of them. He took our sins, our shame, our guilt. The whole thang. Our sins mingled with God's righteous wrath poured down the horrid sink hole of the cross.

A source produces something (a spring is a source).

The Resurrection of Christ (Kinnaird Resurrection) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Resurrection of Christ (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

In the tomb, Christ, the Living Water, became a source. He became the source of new life, an endless, everlasting new-humanity life impossible to extinguish or snuff out. Those invited to the banquet drink from a well that never will run dry. We partake of this new life by faith.

The death and resurrection of Christ occurred in time/space as an historical event on planet Earth. It has existential meaning that cannot be ignored with impunity. We each must choose.

I have a need, a thirst, that was met in Christ.

Do you?

That is the question.

As I set out for church this morning I do so with a fresh awareness of the cross and empty tomb. Because of the cross, I am forgiven; because of the empty tomb (and my faith in it), I am endowed with new life and a fresh direction to follow.

Happy Easter. He is risen.

He is risen indeed.

Thirsty? Come to Christ and drink.
